Update on my everyday sketching project

A super quick post today to share pages in my sketchbook from the last fortnight. I haven’t done a lot of sketching (with the exception of a brief sketching getaway which I will tell you about later in the week) but recording what I sketched in my schedule is keeping me more aware and accountable.

Even if I don’t sketch anything exciting, I always have fun with composition.

So here are my pages.

Aside: I filled up 11 double page spreads in two days on Cockatoo Island on Tu 10 and Wed 11. More about that soon.

And here is an updated view of the back page schedule. This is fun! Next, I need to use some of the unused prompts next, don’t I?

Thanks Joan! In regard to the writing, I don’t mind people trying to read it (I obscure if it’s personal) but it’s main purpose is to show people how to use text as a design element. In answer to your question it was a dear sweet 80 year old lady who was a neighbour.

Dear Liz, I have been following you for awhile now but I have not picked up the courage to introduce myself. My name is Jacqueline and I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband and two girls.

I am so in awe of you. I love your daily exercise of painting, sketching, recording your life and your thoughts and your daily devotional bible verses. They are all so inspiring. I wish I have the skills and the
discipline.

I hope to meet you in person someday. But before that, I hope to take some of your sketching courses, pick up some skills and build some of your awesome habits of documenting my own life and living it with a higher purpose.

Thank you for doing what you do. May God continue to bless you abundantly!!
